If you believe safety is costly, consider the price of an accident. Effective safety management requires a deep understanding of human behavior and the ability to address human errors to foster better safety practices.
Historically, the focus has been on physical and engineering controls, along with safe working procedures. However, research increasingly shows that relying solely on technical measures will not fully eliminate workplace accidents. There is a growing need to consider how individuals interact with their environment and work systems, and how their actions directly impact safety.
Managing human errors is critical to preventing serious accidents, occupational health issues, and injuries—problems that can have significant financial and reputational consequences for businesses and may even threaten their survival.
